Weekend Reflections: Gaining Peace

At the beach

Sometimes our life gets all stormy. Life throws us a curve ball which hits smack in the stomach. It makes you feel sick in the stomach and really hope that you could have a magic wand and turn things around in an instance. You get uptight and edgy and feel extremely stressed up as things are not going they way you expect them to be.

At times like this that one needs to pause and take a break. You need to re-assess the situation at hand to see why the methods of application hasn’t achieved the desired results. Do you need to take a new approach or apply a tweak to your current methods? To continue to pursue it or to let go?

Choices and decision are never easy. With 50% chance of failure and 50% chance of succeeding. The results can go anywhere and after running around in a full circle you may end up back at Stage One.

Sometimes we give up even before trying as we find that it is getting too complicated for us and we don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our minds get clouded and we may not be able to think straight.

Turning to GOD is the best choice for one in this situation. Looking to him and entrusting ourselves not only free us from our burdens but helps us to calm down and think rationally. Getting back the inner peace which we need will help restore the order that we need in our lives.

Chicken Chop Hor Fun and Wrap on a Friday

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Food Trip Friday

Chicken Chop Hor Fun

On the days when I do my grocery/errand runs I grab lunch outside for myself and my kids. We are fortunate here in Singapore to have a really wide variety of food which can be packed . The kids have always had a preference for noodles over rice so I stopped to grab Chicken Chop Hor Fun for them from the hawker centre at Bedok Central. It tasted much better then I expected and for less then $10 for 3 packets it was really worth purchasing.

Chicken Wrap with Salad on the Side

If you are looking for a more fancy Chicken meal then you should try this Chicken Wrap with Salad. I had it for lunch during a girls luncheon. The chicken was really juicy and succulent and the accompanying salad just enough to whet your appetite. It isn’t that pocket friendly though as such a meal will set you back by about $12-$15.
